Happiness is … Outpost Estates. In the late 1920s, Charles E. Toberman promoted his new Hollywood development as “happiness for the whole family.”
And it began at home in Outpost Estates, where residences combine “the charm of restfulness and rugged beauty...”
With a requirement of Mediterranean architecture, Toberman established a department to assist property owners on designing their dream home specifically for its hillside lot.
An architectural jury then had to approve plans before construction could commence. Only single-family residences were permitted, excluding all businesses, apartment buildings, hotels, tenements, and boarding houses.
